Posted: October 08, 2025 | Senator Nangle

AUGUSTA — Sen. Tim Nangle, D-Windham, received a perfect score in the Maine AFL-CIO’s 2025 Legislative Scorecard for his voting record to promote fair wages, ensure safe work environments and support working families. Sen. Nangle was one of 17 senators to earn a perfect score. The Maine AFL-CIO scored 11 initiatives considered by the 132nd Maine Legislature in 2025.

“It just makes sense to support the workers who keep Maine running,” said Sen. Nangle. “When Maine’s workers do well, our whole economy does well. Fair wages, safe workplaces and respect on the job keep our communities strong and Maine’s economy moving forward.”

Sen. Nangle received a perfect score for supporting legislation that would lower costs for working families and protect the state’s future as a place for families to live happily and raise a family. Sen. Nangle supported legislation to:

  • Protect the income of federal and state employees during government shutdowns.
  • Guarantee a minimum wage for Maine farmworkers.
  • Fund public pre-K-12 education by making the wealthiest pay their fair share.
  • Strengthen the pre-apprenticeship programs that bolster Maine’s workforce.
  • Improve recruitment, retention and pay for state employees.
  • Ensure that the workers powering Maine’s clean energy transition are compensated fairly with good benefits.
  • Help law enforcement and first responders access treatment for PTSD.
  • Fund Maine government services and programs, including education and revenue sharing.

Sen. Nangle also opposed a perennial effort that would weaken the ability of workers to organize for better wages and safe working conditions.

Sen. Nangle has consistently supported working families each year he’s served in the Legislature, receiving a perfect score from the Maine AFL-CIO in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
